I agree, it doesn't seem like plasti dip will last long term. I talked to one upholstery shop about leather wrapping the console and they said it would be too difficult given the close tolerances in the gaps around the switches and ash tray. They recommended painting which is what I will probably end up doing, either a matching Lapis Blue or a gloss or matte black. I bought the leather wrap for the console armrest and matching leather for the door armrest from the UK eBay seller. The leather should show up in the next week.
